Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
The current CEO of Sheffield Council was at the Christmas party when she worked at No 10 in 2020. Can't expect the head of the Covid Task Force to know what the rules were.....

That'll explain the shipments of boxes of very thick Sharpies and sheets of tiny, tiny postage stamps seen being delivered to No. 10 earlier today.Dubbed “Operation Save Big Dog” by the prime minister himself, the blueprint includes a drive to work out which heads should roll following the publication of senior official Sue Gray’s findings, as well as highlighting the prime minister’s achievements according to sources.

According to the Scum, Express and Torygraph, Starmer was photographed drinking a beer whilst holding a meeting at a constituency office with a small number of election workers during last year's local elections
According to them that is far, far, far worse that the Conservatives holding multiple large parties over a long period of time with a lot more booze even though they were the ones that actually made the rules in the first place because... reasons

They also seem to forget that small gatherings were allowed at the time.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Now I understand why this story is only leaking now. If it had come out during lockdown folks would've burned the country to the ground.
Wine Fridays? Posh w.nker territory at the best of times, but right through the f.cking pandemic? With a f.cking 34-bottle wine fridge? I've never laughed harder at a photo of a fridge being delivered.
Also explains why the Met are so coy. There's no way they didn't know weekly pissups were occurring. They are complicit, ignoring this sh.t while harassing kids in parks.
Operation "Save Big Dog by sacrificing some hapless underlings" won't be enough: this pooch is screwed.

But they can say that they thought the fridge was for Boris to hide in. They had no idea it was for partying.Bird on a Fire wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:43 amWine Fridays?

And on a more practical note, there was nothing in the rules which precluded staff drinking wine or other chilled drinks while working, not preventing them having virtual parties with each person participating over video.

Not really. Any malicious individual would find plenty of stuff inside with which to cause mayhem. I expect there are armed police, for example, so if you want a weapon you take it from one of them.Woodchopper wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 1:45 pmOh ok.

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Here or next tory leader thread...
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 93433.html
"Operation Save Big Dog"?
It does mean that Johnson is admitting to himself at least that he's vulnerable. And his "blame the underlings (as Chris Bryant suggested would be a really bad look) is not likely to inspire loyalty to him.
Regardless of what happens, I guess we'll see far more anonymous briefings against him
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 93433.html
As an aside, I hate the Independent's website, but they did break the story.Boris Johnson is drawing up a list of officials to offer resignations over Partygate in a bid to salvage his premiership, The Independent has learned.
Dubbed “Operation Save Big Dog” by the prime minister himself, the blueprint includes a drive to work out which heads should roll following the publication of senior official Sue Gray’s findings, as well as highlighting the prime minister’s achievements, according to sources. Officials have also started using the code name, The Independent understands

Re: 2020 No. 10 Christmas Party!
Apparently more than 50% on conservative home think he should resign...
Boris and supporters keep saying to wait for the report, but I can't see how even a moderately accurate report can save him. He must be hoping for the anger to subside enough to brush off the findings or deflect blame, yet more bad news keeps coming for him. If the report is a fabrication of the events that will just look worse.
Still, I don't expect him to do anything other than cling onto No10 as a barnacle clings to a hull.

Therein lies the rub.
If it is anything like "wallpapergate" the report will be an exercise in gaslighting.

Tories already leaking the results of the report: https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics ... -findings/
Wendy Chamberlain raised concerns in the Commons today about a report in The Times that Ms Gray's investigation would not conclude Boris Johnson had breached the ministerial code, nor would it find sufficient evidence of criminality to refer the issue to the police.
